INTRODUCTION 


My  publishers  have  asked  me  to  write  something.  This  1 have  already  done  on 
every  page, — in  the  picture  language,  in  which  alone  do  1 feel  that  1 can  do 
my  best.  Ten  years  ago  an  old  German  editor  in  my  native  State,  Ohio,  said, 
“The  cartoon  will  be  the  editorial  of  the  future.” 

In  this  day  of  American  journalistic  enterprise,  the  cartoonist  is  often  called  on  to 
make  a cartoon  in  two  or  three  hours  and  sometimes  in  less  time.  Do  you  wonder 
that  we  die  young  or  become  paretics  ? 

If  we  do  anything  towards  moulding  public  opinion,  do  not  blame  us  entirely,  but 
remember  the  editor,  whose  name  does  not  appear  on  the  cartoon. 

1 do  not  believe  in  the  bitter,  stinging  cartoon.  It's  always  best  to  produce  a laugh 
with  your  argument ; people  seem  to  digest  it  better. 

I desire  to  acknowledge  the  courtesy  of  the  New  York  Herald  in  permitting  me 
to  publish  these  cartoons  in  book  form.
